Hezbollah is thought to be using Mexican drug money to fill the gap created by the recent sanctions on Tehran which has caused Ahmadinejad's regime to seriously cut back in its funding to the terrorist outfit. In return for access, Hezbollah stands accused of helping drug cartels with establishing underground tunnel networks, assisting with logistics and improving cartel weapons and explosives production. Hezbollah is said to be interested in utilising the tunnels into the United States for its own terrorist activities.

He said, "Ten pounds of anthrax in a medium-size suitcase, carried by a Jihad warrior through the tunnels can kill 300,000 Americans in one hour," he said. "It will make 9/11 look like peanuts. There's no need for plans… Just one courageous man, to spread this confetti on the White House lawn. Then we will really be able to celebrate."

In October 2012, Congresswoman Sue Myrick of North Carolina stated, "I don't have a lot of faith in the Department of Homeland Security," said Myrick. "They should be looking at these groups [Hezbollah/Al Qaeda] in Mexico much more closely."

In the southern-most state of Mexico, Chiapas, a local militia known as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) continues is armed resistance against the Mexican government.

Founded on a disjointed philosophy stemming from Mayan tradition, socialist libertarianism and Marxism, the Zapatistas came into being in 1994 and are outspoken against globalisation, the North American Free Trade Agreement and oddly, Israel.

It would perhaps therefore come as little surprise if a financially waning Hezbollah chose to partner with the EZLN in an attempt to raise cash for terrorist activities against the Jewish state. Subcomandante Marcos, the spokesperson for the EZLN said in January 2009 (on behalf of the organisation):

"The Israeli government's heavily trained and armed military continues its march of death and destruction." He described the actions of the Israeli government as a "classic military war of conquest". He said: "The Palestinian people will also resist and survive and continue struggling and will continue to have sympathy from below for their cause."

Chiapas has recently been targeted by Muslim missionaries, though the effects on the population are so far thought to be negligible.
